Why my GT-N7000 reverts back to stock rom and recovery?

I recently acquired a GT-N7000 device and as I'm used flashing custom ROMs more than often, I rooted it to be able to flash CWM.
The issue is that when I flash CWM, after reboot it gets wiped out and is reverted back to the stock recovery. Moreover if I flash a custom ROM the devices gets rebooted suddenly and boots into the stock ROM.
I wonder where is the problem here. Urgent help is needed.
Thanks.
Sounds like you haven't got full root? Are you able to write to /system?

No, i guess its about phone restart after some time in recovery TWRP ver 2.3.x.x.
Had the same problem and i solve with flashing TWRP ver 2.2.1. Its fully stable for me.

Strange IMEI behavior

Hi xda community. I'll try to explain exactly what I did and what's happening.
I flashed Cyanogenmod and everything went fine. As the latest Nighty became available, I downloaded it and tried to apply the update. I'm using Philz Touch as recovery. The update process started as usual, but then it stopped when it was almost done. I rebooted recovery and it begun again to install the update without success at all.
I've opened Odin and tried to re flash the recovery, hopping that I would be able to get to the normal Philz Touch recovery and it started (again) the update process.
I've ticked NANDROID full wipe and flashed the recovery again and I got the recovery menu. I performed a Nandroid restore, and recovery couldn't mount the /data partition.
I've realized that the /efs partition wasn't mounted. I manually mounted it and Nandroid backup successfully restored everything.
Ripper ROM (Samsung Based) booted up well, and I had to flash a modem since I didn't have signal. I thought everything was fine. But now as soon as I install a new ROM (either Sammy Based or AOSP) I lose my IMEI and get in Factory Mode.
I've tried restoring efs from backup and it didn't work. The only way I get it to work is restoring from Nandroid backup.
Can anybody help me please?

Does Ripper Rom use Perseus kernel perhaps? If so, join us over here.

Yeah, I'm running that kernel...is that perhaps what's causing the problem with the /efs partition?
Edit: tried to flash another kernel and got no signal but as long as I flash Perseus it works!
Why is this happening???

Beats me mate, myself along with a couple others are having the same exact problem. We have no idea what is going on. Discuss possible solutions in the thread I linked.

Does that means that I'm now stuck on that kernel?

Yes, join the club.
So, does this mean those of us haven't got this error should stay away from the Perseus kernel?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you install a non-Perseus kernel?

Dual Recovery... Half Working :/

I've got dual Recovery on my Z. Vol up for CWM and Vol down for TWRP. So here is the problem now.
I flashed a rom using CWM, rebooted and whatnot, and everything seemed fine
So I went to flash another mod and CWM just, well, didn't work... It just kept looping on the Sony logo. So I thought maybe it was a glitch, or just a one off thing... But no... It's not. TWRP still works though.
I prefer using CWM but I'm not entirely bothered about using TWRP, I just want to know WHY it's stop working. Any help???
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
The Rom you flashed probably only uses TWRP. Flashing ROM's will format /system and get rid of dual boot recovery.

I just checked that and apparently its supposed to use both. It was the Honami ExistenZ rom V1. I read somewhere that it could of corrupted an IMG file..... Not sure that's the reason though...
